I have some 1/2 gallon ones, too, and use them for soup. :)loves2spinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02072576848451758173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666117209180392269.post-2802253465448781892017-03-17T09:39:20.871-04:002017-03-17T09:39:20.871-04:00I like to use jars for many things.

Our youngest son used to be so wonderful about eating up all the leftovers, but then he left home and go married! loves2spinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02072576848451758173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666117209180392269.post-67265596240829768052017-03-08T12:20:01.531-05:002017-03-08T12:20:01.531-05:00That is an interesting tip. I believe it would be...That is an interesting tip. I believe it would be OK under most circumstances, like you say.<br /><br />We are usually able to use up leftovers, either by eating them (there are only 3 of us at home now) for lunches (my husband eats lunch at home and my daughter and I pack ours for work and school) or finishing them off at dinner. Sometimes they will be in the same form, but often I incorporate the leftover into a new dish. I'm also consciously trying to cook smaller amounts by downsizing the soup kettle to the medium, not the largest. I am not a recipe cook...I am a throw together type cook, substituting and improvising. Needless to say we have many one of a kind meals. <br /><br />When I cook or make too much of something I put quarts into the freezer for future use, then we don't have so much to use up. And a quart of soup or stew is enough for the 3 of us to use at one sitting without more leftovers!<br /><br />Athanasiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13005869307957326671noreply@blogger.com
